So it's a 14 team league h2h points. Pitching and hitting are fairly even but it caters towards strikeout pitchers rather than contact. I've got to trim down to 8 keepers here so which 8 do you guys think and who should I try to package to upgrade. I think it's a solid group but I can always get better. I've tried shopping pedroia and cole together for a top 10 bat but I've had no luck thus far. Trout and Braun are completely not tradeable but who else should I target and for which combo? I would have thought pedroia and hamels could get a top 10 bat but obviously not.

Fielder, goldschmitt, pedroia, longoria, jay bruce, cargo, kershaw, strausberg, hamels, king Felix.

You just need to find the right team. In a 14 teamer thats an impressive squad and someone is going to need upgrading. Really hard to say who you try for, but you'll have to check rosters for teams in need then find 1 of their top options. You may have to package Bruce, Gold & Hamels and get 1 guy. Maybe the league is just ticked at you for amassing such a good roster and they've decided to boycott

In no order:

King Felix
Strausberg
Kershaw
Bruce
Fielder
Longoria
Pedroia
Cargo

- If you need a 1B, I'd consider keeping Gold and shopping Cargo with Hammels for an upgrade. If you already have a nice 1B option, keep Cargo and see what you can get for Gold and Hammels.

Thanks for the input. I know at least one owner doesn't want to deal because of the guys I've been able to grab and he's trouts owner. I think I'm just looking to soon for trying to upgrade. I know there's a few weaker teams and I guess I just have to wait til they decide on their own set of keepers to wow them with a 2-4-1 offer.
